Hi chaps,

I'm looking for something where I can set up environments on my Mac for particular tasks.

So for example, say I want to do web development. I want to be able to hit one button, and have my text editor launched in Space 1, a web browser in Space 2 to a particular URL, Cocoa mySQL in Space 3, and bunch of finder windows at particular sizes and folders on Space 5, a couple of terminals on Space 6, and so on.

Basically, I want to be able to define sets of workspaces and switch to them to configure things to my taste without having to manually open up all the apps I need, manually open and reposition finder windows, and so on.

Is there an app or utility that can do this?

Thanks,
 
Hmm, I was hoping that there was an app for this - looks like I'm going to have to try and hack something up with Applescript... :(
